Background: The relationship between borderline personality disorder (BPD), bipolar disorder (BD), and
attention decit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) requires further elucidation.
Methods: Seventy-four adult psychiatric in- and out-patients, each of them having received one of these
diagnoses on clinical assessment, were interviewed and compared in terms of diagnostic overlap, age
and sex distribution, comorbid substance, anxiety and eating disorders, and affective temperament.
Results: Diagnostic overlap within the three disorders was 54%. Comorbidity patterns and gender ratio
did not differ. The disorders showed very similar levels of cyclothymia.
Limitations: Sample size was small and only a limited number of validators were tested.
Conclusions: The similar extent of cyclothymic temperament suggests mood lability as a common
denominator of BPD, BD, and ADHD.

3. Results
Sociodemographic data are shown in Table 1. Bipolar patients
were statistically signicantly older than borderline and ADHD
patients. No other differences were found.
For both groups dened by primary and by pure diagnoses,
irritable and anxious temperaments were the lowest in bipolar
patients. Hyperthymic temperament showed a trend towards lower
values in borderline patients in the primary groups, which became
signicant in the pure groups. Similarly, depressive temperament
showed a trend to be the highest in borderline patients in the
primary groups, which became signicant in the pure groups. Results
are summarized in Table 2.
The pattern of comorbidities among the three diagnoses BPD,
BD, and ADHD is shown in Table 3. All in all, 54% (40/74)
of patients were co-morbid with at least one other disorder
within the triplet of target diagnoses. No statistically signicant
differences in comorbidity with substance use, anxiety, or eating
disorders emerged.
4. Discussion
In a mixed sample of 74 in- and out-patients with primary
diagnoses of BPD, BD, and ADHD, there was considerable diagnostic overlap. At least half of the members of each disorder met

criteria for at least one of the other disorders. Consistent with this,
comorbidity rates for substance use, anxiety disorders and eating
disorder were very similar and not statistically signicantly
different among the groups. Levels of affective temperament were
partly similar among groups, with some notable differences: BPD
patients stood out by low levels of hyperthymia and by high
depressiveness, and BD patients stood out by low levels of anxious
and irritable-explosive temperament. These differences were all
statistically signicant in the pure groups. A cyclothymic temperament, however, was expressed on a similar and high level by BP,
BPD, and ADHD.
Due to the limited number of validators, this study could not
demonstrate with certainty that the three disorders are different,
let alone denitely the same. However, the ndings point to areas
of overlap and difference that should be investigated further in
larger studies.
